We thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of adventure and wonderful descriptions. My son couldn't get enough of it!

My Father's Dragon and its two sequels are books that Da read to us when we were little, and they're very cute. I'd actually kind of forgotten about them until I started working with books and saw them again. Then I spotted an edition of all three books in one hardcover volume at a used book sale, and snapped it up. I don't have a blurb for it because it didn't have its dust jacket at that time, but suffice it to say that it's about a boy named Elmer who has adventures with a baby dragon named Boris, who is just about the cutest thing ever. And I figured that, after Moby-Dick, I needed something cute and fluffy. So I read this, which took about a day, but it certainly was cute and fluffy. If I ever find myself in a position to have to read a kid a story (and since I'm moving into my uncle and his soon-to-arrive new baby's building, I just might), I will for sure read these books. Because they're adorable. Especially Boris.

My Father's Dragon is still my favorite of the trilogy, but The Dragons of Blueland is wonderful too. Loved learning the dragon has a name! Who knew?

Most likely an inflated nostalgia read. Impressed by some of the vocabulary in this book - includes "culvert" which is not what I consider a popular word among 6 year olds.

The first book I ever read in one day, I was so proud of myself.
